A Chinese zoo has admitted to painting dogs to resemble pandas after visitors noticed the animals panting and barking. The zoo, located in Shanwei, initially claimed the animals were a rare breed of 'panda dogs' but later confessed they were Chow Chow dogs painted black and white. This incident follows a similar case earlier this year at the Taizhou Zoo in Jiangsu province. The zoo's deception was exposed after footage of the painted dogs went viral, leading to widespread outrage. The viral video was shared via AsiaWire.
